After shattering domestic and global opening records last weekend, Universal’s dinosaur blockbuster Jurassic World has pushed its worldwide gross to an astonishing $981 million after just 12 days on release around the globe. It should surpass the $1 billion mark tomorrow, which would exclipse the record set by fellow Universal release Fast & Furious 7 earlier this year when it reached that milestone in 17 days.
Domestically, Jurassic World retained the top spot this weekend, adding an extra $102 million and fending off competition from Pixar’s Inside Out (which opened in second with $91 million – the highest ever opening for an original film). The Colin Trevorrow-helmed sequel has earned $398.23 million Stateside, and will hit $400 million tomorrow, its eleventh day of release in North America, making it the fastest film to do so (The Avengers holds the current record with 14 days).
